The applicant's claims


The applicant has applied for the grant of a Visitor visa (subclass 600) to visit Australia for a
temporary stay.

Information and evidence considered


I am a delegated decision maker under section 65 of the Migration Act 1958. In reaching my
decision, I have considered the following:
● relevant legislation contained in the Migration Act and Migration Regulations 1994
● information contained in the Department's Procedural Instructions
● documents and information provided by the applicant(s)
● relevant information held on Departmental files.

Findings
On the basis of all the information available to me, including the documents and information
the applicant provided, I find that the criteria for the grant of a Visitor (Tourist) visa in the
Tourist stream are not satisfied.

Reasons
I have assessed the application and the reasons for my decision are detailed below.

An application for a Visitor (Tourist) visa in the Tourist stream has been made by the
applicant.

A visa cannot be granted unless the relevant criteria specified in the Migration Act and the
Migration Regulations are satisfied.

In this case, I am not satisfied that clause 600.212 in Schedule 2 of the Migration
Regulations is satisfied. This clause provides that:

600.212
The applicant has:
(a) adequate means to support himself or herself; or
(b) access to adequate means to support himself or herself;

during the period of the applicant’s intended stay in Australia.

In assessing this criterion, I have taken into account information provided in the application
and the supporting documents such as evidence of the applicant's financial circumstances.

My decision is based on the following factors


The applicant claims that they intend to visit Australia temporarily as a tourist.

The applicant has not provided any evidence to support their application.

The applicant has not provided acceptable evidence that they have sufficient funds to cover
the cost of their travel to and stay in Australia. As such, I cannot be satisfied they intend a
genuine visit as I find the cost of duration of their stay in Australia is not consistent with their
personal circumstances. As they have not demonstrated that they have access to sufficient
funds to support themselves during their stay in Australia, I am also of the view that they may
have significant incentive to work in Australia in breach of their visa conditions.

After considering the information provided, I am not satisfied that the applicant genuinely
intends to stay temporarily in Australia for the purposes set out above as the costs
associated with long haul travel to Australia are not consistent with the applicants personal
circumstances.

After considering the likely costs of a temporary stay in Australia and the information
provided, I am not satisfied that the applicant has adequate means or access to adequate
means to support themselves in Australia.

Therefore, I am not satisfied that the applicant meets the relevant criteria in clause 600.212
in Schedule 2 of the Migration Regulations.

Decision
As clause 600.212 is not satisfied, I find the criteria for the grant of a Visitor (Tourist) visa in
the Tourist stream are not satisfied. Therefore, I refuse the application by the applicant for a
Visitor (Tourist) visa in the Tourist stream.

Yours sincerely
